Money and Stress in America
Asian Americans may be seen as having financially "made it." What happens when Americans experience stress related to finances? Here are some tips to consider:
(1) Have honest discussions about finances. This is easier said than done since some cultures view money matters as a taboo topic.
(2) Start teaching your kids about money sooner rather than waiting to help them develop healthy money behaviors.
(3) Build a supportive emotional network as this has been shown to help deal with stress. For more information about how to manage stress and change behavior, visit: www.apa.org/helpcenter.

Stress in America
Stress in America affects our health (e.g., disturbed eating, sleeping, and relationships).

Ways that stress could manifest among Asian Americans tend to be more psychosomatic than in the general population. Additionally, Asian Americans may be reluctant to disclose their personal issues to people outside the family. Therefore, it's important to keep in mind to engage in healthy self care (e.g., exercise, healthy eating, adequate sleep, etc.) rather than employing unhealthy coping mechanisms (e.g., smoking, drinking, gambling).
How do you know you are stressed out and how do you deal with stress?
